I've been contacted by a private collector, a NAFEX member, looking for old varieties of muscadine grapes. Commercial places like Ison's don't carry them, and the Germplasm Repository hasn't helped either. If you are, or know, a private individual with old muscadine varieties, please contact me offlist so I can put you in touch with the fellow. He doesn't use e-mail, so I'll need a mailing address and phone number. He is pretty serious about collecting these varieties.
